5.0 out of 5 stars abduction, 22 Jan 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Abduction (Paperback)

Absolutely fabulous read! I've always enjoyed Robin Cook books as they are cleverly written. This is a change from his usual subject being a little more 'science fiction' but once again meticulously researched and a gripping read! Chromosone 6 was good but this is even better. More like this please!!

1.0 out of 5 stars I think Mr Cook should stick to medical thrillers, 16 Nov 2010

Ish (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abduction (Paperback)

Abduction In my view, this book is pretty awful. I'd rank it with the pulp sci-fi books that you see on stands in the market for 50p new. Very farfetched. I only finished it because I enjoy Robin Cook's medical thrillers and kept thinking it must get better. It didn't.

I am surprised that no-one seems to have noticed that "ABDUCTION" is a rehash of "MYST: THE BOOK OF D'NI". It fooled me until "CLONES" arrived. Read more
